So for now it has been very good for me but i will monitor it and get back in a month or to. Oh and I have NOT gained any extra weight either which is common with pills.

Not only do I feel I’m seeing red every other week but I am now bleeding like I did right after I gave birth along with cramping that I also never experienced with the other mini pill. Needless to say I am sick of this and am going to get the Mirena IUD in a couple of weeks. I heard bleeding is pretty irregular at first but gets much better after a few months and in some women stops all together. I hope I like it. It sounds so convenient.

I am still nursinf my daughter at least 4 times per day. My doctor told me that when i start to wean my daughter that i need to stop taking the pill because it will not be as effective in preventing preganacy and i will need a new form of contriception. Overall, i was satisfied with this pill.

I'm a mom of a 6 month old and have been taking this prescription for a month and half now. I have not had a period. My doctor failed to tell me that with this prescription there are no placebo pills. Luckily I normally take them anyway.

I have been taking this medication for over a week and have not stop bleeding. I breastfeed my son and mix a little of formula. I seem to have a lot of pain in the lower parts of my belly. I don't want to stop breastfeeding but I can't put myself through this. My breast seem to hurt alot! I just don't kno what I should do. Sometimes being a mom can suck!
